Feel awful about CCS - lauram

[ArchivalUser]

I feel awful after taking the CCS today. I took my 1st day yesterday and it went alright (medium in other words). I am sooo tired and sleep deprived that I ended up really messing up on CCS. Realizing only halfway through a chest pain case that I never did cardiac enzymes (!!) or doing a colonoscopy way before the gastroscopy for a patient with severe vomiting, forgetting that I only ordered the NG tube! These are just two examples. I messed up 2 other cases for not finishing and those patients are probably still in the hospital. Anyway....

I know that CCS only counts 25% of the mark, but I would expect that they can fail someone who can't handle a chest pain correctly!

Has anyone had similar experiences and passed or know how much messing up a cardiac case would count against me?

It seems to me there are a handful of people or one person with multiple screen names that out of some reason/s writing on Step 3, Residency section of this forum. I haven't looked at Step 1 or 2 sections

Its a free forum and practically anonymous so any one and every can be here and post whatever they feel like it. Unfortunately takes away from the purpose and meaning of this forum.

I have felt duped and disheartened for responding to some of the questions posted by people or person.

Wish there is a way to ask administrators of this forum to look into it. It would nice to have an option to tag posts from lauram alike.
